It's all about the money. I want to get CBC and blood chemistry. Why do I need to have a doctor take 75-200 USD to make the request for me? When everything is fine, he has zero input. When something is off, I may know how to interpret myself, or I might go to the doctor.

I don't understand your logic - it's equivalent, e.g. To making me convince a financial advisor about any transaction I want to make, and pay him for the privilege of sending the order to the broker instead of me. It will equally help some people who have no idea or business doing what they do - and is totally incompatible with western ideals and practices.
